Why is the crease at the bottom of my butt not round after BBL?

Question

I had a bbl 3 weeks ago an i do love the projection but i really wanted the upside down heart shape creases at the bottom, but it still looks boxy just like it did before. Mabey i wasnt as specific with my dr as i should have been because he is awesome! Will it rould out as it settels or will i need a revision? Really want that round crease.

3 weeks is too early to evaluate your result.  At the end of the day, no matter how the great the surgeon some patients will never be happy.  The dynamics and technical aspects of trying to create something that is much larger with perfect shape when the starting point is markedly different can never be fully elucidated or explained adequately in a forum like this.   Although 30% of my practice involves revisions, I only revise about 0.6% of my own BBLs.  I can tell you that from doing the procedure thousands of times, healing is never perfect nor predictable despite perfect execution on the table.Kenneth Hughes, MD  Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question, at three weeks post op you wont be able to see your final results, there's still a lot of swelling and unevenness; I would advice you to be patient and continue to follow your doctors instructions to maximize your results.Good Luck.Salvador Pantoja M.D.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation and irregularities are normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Three weeks is too early in the healing process to determine the final results. Be patient and wait for full healing before deciding how you like the results.

Three weeks is still an early post-op time. I would wait for 8-12 weeks to get the final result. Additional fat grafting could be planned if needed.
